Walked the dogs again (1 1/2 hours)
Emptied all bins
Put out recycling and composting

Just having a cuppa, then its time to have a quick read of the paper before making fish pie for tea.

I'm going to dunk my babies in the bath after tea, and if they are nice they can watch the dancing with me.

Afternoon

I've been an a Governor conference all day so no flying again. Hope to catch up tomorrow

Healing vibes for the kids with croup, it is a very frightening ting for all concerned.

Going to put WM on and draw the curtains, I may or may not get to the ironing tonight

Mumof2_2

So many little ones with croup - hope they all improve soon.

Took DD riding today (scarey as horse was one she's never ridden before, was rather forward going and cantered round the school with her :eek: - she ended up on a quieter one thankfully), then took her to gym. Did some flying, now DS in lounge with me with woodburner on; DD in her room with her friend and DH getting ready to go out on a drinks do tonight. Left over cottage pie for supper for me and the kids - yay for left overs!!

(Late) afternoon everyone :hello:

All five skids are here this weekend which has resulted in both cars boomeranging around all over Solihull all day. DH has just dropped the girls off at the ice rink and they're bussing it home so we get to clock off shortly.

Kitchen was tidy when I went to bed (10pm) but looked like a bomb had gone off this morning :mad: so I gave it an hour-long blitz; doubt it will last but for now it's a-ok. Been into town for new school shoes for DS2 and managed to pick up "weekend" shoes for DS2 while we were there. DD didn't get anything but didn't complain, which makes a pleasant change

WM is almost done so that needs to be thrown at the airer, then onto dinner.

GWS to the poorlies and hugs to those in need xx

ETA: DH just called, ice rink doesn't open til 8pm(?!) so he's gone back to collect the girls. There goes the big telly for tonight

Woops 2 hours sleep decluttered, so car not cleaned, hair is done, dinner in oven.

Been a horrible 24 hours

Sorry you're having a hard time, Vanilla. Hope Rhys gets better soon and you get your car sorted. (((Hugs)))

First coats of chocolate chip and clotted cream have been completed and our bedroom is already starting to look luvverly. (Well, now we're both signed up at SW, we have to enjoy the syns somehow ) Will try to do the second coat of cream after Strictly.

Chilli con carne for tea??? That was my original plan, but DH chose baked beans for his jacket potato at lunchtime, so I've just changed the menu :rotfl:

Bossy, my children used to enjoy Captain Caveman. Makes me feel old!
